Splashing Out (3/1), Gabriel Ranger (10/3), Vaureal (5/1), Kazakh D'arthel (17/2), Ballycashin (9/1), Be Fierce (10/1), Crecora Hills (12/1), Bynx (12/1), Oneforgonzo (14/1), Big Island (16/1), Insouciant Dallier (33/1)

Verdict

GABRIEL RANGER arrives on the back of some good runs over hurdles and is worth chancing to make a winning start to his chase career. Ballycashin will be a threat if back to her Gowran chase debut form. Crecora Hills is entitled to come on for her Punchestown reappearance and also makes the shortlist.

  1. GABRIEL RANGER (IRE)
  2. BALLYCASHIN (IRE)
  3. CRECORA HILLS (IRE)
